In Person Only, Not Recorded
Shirley Jackson, Stephen King, and Carmen Maria Machado. In this session we will look at specific paragraphs within specific stories from the three masters of horror. Shirely Jackson’s We Have Always LIved in the Castle, Stephen King’s The Langoliers, and Carmen Maria Machado’s The Husband Stitch will be discussed. We will focus on excerpts from each piece that demonstrate excellence in authorial intent and execution and how writers can learn from these examples and apply them in their own work. Excerpts will be provided.
